Going two episodes back with Bob Shirley: “I got a chuckle out of Chidi’s purchase of a bunch of almond milk during his chili run at the grocery. He really is in ‘fork it’ mode to load up on the very thing he used to think was the reason he wound up in the Bad Place at all.”

Before I had a kid, I was with Eleanor.  There was no way of guessing a child’s age just by looking or talking to them.

Haven't had time to check for myself, but someone on Reddit said that there are windchimes behind Michael when Eleanor asks him if he has a penis.

The gags about Eleanor understanding nothing about the life or perspective of a nine year old girl (how old are you, three? well, good luck on the SATs) were ridiculous and perfect

Eleanor’s mom’s shame about her drinking night with the ladies involving her having one glass .... of chardonnay ... with an ice cube in it, and Eleanor busting her on it, was comedy gold (particularly compared to her old morning ritual of seven shots of Seagram’s Seven)

I always wondered if Kamilah is really as awful as they shown us or is it because we only saw her through Tahani’s eyes. And it turns out the whole thing was basically Gamora and Nebula but seen from Nebula’s point of view all. They parents like Thanos made them fight for their affection and Kamilah always won. She

“No, mom. Ya basic.” Delivered so sincerely.

Patton Oswalt had the perfect response:” You and I are approximately the same age. Blackface was NOT okay when we were kids. Take it from a big-hearted boy who just wanted to show his love for Nipsey Russell on the worst Halloween of my life”.

You can take the person out of Fox News, but you can’t take the Fox News out of the person.

I recently discovered what I currently think is the best and most simple way to enjoy caviar. I learned that this is, supposedly, a traditional Russian way of eating it. Basically, take the avocado toast idea and replace the avocado with a cool slab of butter. I think it works even better than the blini with creme

It was nice to see that despite not remembering (again) anything about him Eleanor, as always, sees right through Michael’s lies. Those were bad lies but people often believe in what they hear to avoid things that are against their belief systems. She doesn’t allow him to distract her or let an explanation pacify

I mean he was distractingly buff.

I was also a teen when the Hughes films came out. My reactions were sort of the opposite of yours; The Breakfast Club resonated deeply with me, as it felt like it could’ve been a documentary made at my high school (2,200 students in white suburbia). Weirdly, I didn’t fit any of the archetypes presented; I was smart

That’s a pretty good analogy. Brad looks tired in one interview, and all of a sudden the headlines become “Cooper Tired of Gaga’s Shit. Why They Hate Each Other, next on ET!”Funnily enough I believe the tabloids half the time, but your comment is probably the case, but that isn’t as exciting as some scandalous

Yet, he insists that Beto uses his name to gain Hispanic votes. Looks as if he's ashamed of his God given name- one would think. 

That’s true Beyonce did the sorta Star Search performing child to girl group to fame thing. While Gaga was a theater kid to night club/bar to fame thing. Which is why I wonder if the writing would be completely different. I don't picture Beyonce being a waitress at shitty bar/drag club.

“folk/country/rock star with a song like “Shallow” would immediately be convinced to switch into high-choreo dance-pop.”

My favorite piece of Jewel trivia (that will also make you vomit):

you have a feeling this is gonna be it?
